RADIATOR.

' "Application filed February 17 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAMHAWKS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Duluth, in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

device may be made the size desired to meet 'that fluid fuel may it may therein, andalso its be used with steam, the like with little change.

-When fuel is burned in the radiator, it affords ventilation by drawing bad air through it and discharging it through a pipe to the exterior of theplaoe being heated.

When read in connection with the description herein, the details of construction "and arrangement of parts contemplated by the invention will be apparent from the ac-' companying drawing, forming part hereof,- wherein an embodiment of the invention is disclosed, for purposes of illustration.

While the disclosures herein now are considered to represent a preferable embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that it is not the intention necessarily to be limited thereto in interpretation of claims, as alterations can scope of the claims without departing from the nature and spirit of the invention.

Like reference-characters refer to corresponding parts in the views of the drawing, of which Figure 1 is view; Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view through a column; Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line 4-4, Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a view of the burner; and Fig. 6 is a view of a burner-holder. I p

Referring moreparticularly to the drawing, 7 designates intermediate columns or sections and 8 end columns radiatorconstructed in accordance with this invention. The columns are similar, except that the end ones are provided with legs 9 and are formed to have pipes coupled thereto as hereinafter described. The columns Specification of Letters; Patent.

"are held together by bolts 10 extending longitudinally of the radiator in braces 11.

Every columnis formed with an exterior casing 12 inolosing ,a chamber A for the heating medium, and within the chamber there are walls 13 in the lower portion and walls 14 in the upper portion extending as partitions from side to side of the casing and comprehending to the atmosphere. Thus it will be seen that the arrangement is such that there is a large area of heat-radiating surface.

Every column in each has a passage 16 openingto its interior, and surrounding each opening on the exterior of the column there is an annular abutment 17 arranged to have fluid-tight contact with an abutment on the next adjacent column. Thus,when anumber of columns are coupled together to form a radiator, there is a substantially horizontal continuous passage or opening from end to end thereof near its base, which opens to the interior of every column, and which constitutes a combustion chamber B. Every column has in each side one or more orifices 18 opening to spaces 15 that are open end near its base vol admit air thereto. These orifices may be made of any desired shape, but they are shown of circular form so that they are adapted to receive screw-threaded plugs when it is desired to close them, only one of which plugs, designated by 19, is shown for illustrative purposes.

A burner-tube 20, so called for convenience but which is not necessarily of tubular formation, is disposed in the combustionchamber, and on its upper side it has a series of single, or sets of, orifices 21. The single orifices, or sets of them, are substandistance apart asthe columns, so that, when the burner is in place and fuel therefrom is being burned, heat will rise upwardly in the columns. The burner is supported by holders 22, one at each end. The holders are of annular formation, and each has an upper comparatively large air-admission segmental port 23 and a lower smaller opening or seat 24 in which the burner-tube is seated. Near'one end the burner-tube has a flange 24:, which is held against the holder at that end by a closing-cap 25 on the other end of the tube screwed against the other holder, the cap and flange operating to maintain the hold ers against the exteiior abutments 17 of the of the radiator through passages C and out end columns, in whichpositions they parthrough the flue, which preferably should tially close the combustion-chamber at its lead to the exterior of the room or other ends. The burner may be withdrawn by place in which the radiator is located, in 5 loosening the cap and passing the holder order that the place may be ventilated by on that end over the cap, the up er openwithdrawal of air from near the floor and ing or port of the holder b ing 0 suflicient that the products of combustion may not size-,for this purpose.' e burner-tube at be ermitted to accumulate in theplace. the end opposite the cap -is arranged to he abutments 17 preferably are inte 10 .be con led with a pi e 26 leading from any riorly screw threaded, so that, when it is suitab e source of iihid fuel. It will be desired to use the radiator for diffusing noted'that the burner can be placed in the heat of preheated fluids, such as steanf or radiator fromeither end, and that, therehot water, a supply-pipe may be coupled fore, the receiving or coupled end may be at one. of abutments 17 and the other 15 located at the place suited to the position of closed by av plug such as that illustrated the radiator ina room. by 30, the orifices 18 closed by -plugs such In every column, the upper partition walls as 19, and the flue-pipe 29 replaced by a 14; are of substantially U shape with a paspi c more suited to such use. sage (3 leading downwardl therebetween' iaying thus described my invention, what 20 from the up er portion of t column, and I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letthe column as on each end a passage 27 ters Patent, isopening to passage 0.
